How do you know what I am thinking? How do you know what I am going to be doing with the film? Because I ask people some further questions, specifically, what film they are talking about, for those that didn't state a specific film, and asking if they made prints and how they liked the color balance...that has you believing I "STILL remain unconvinced", or that there are no more questions to be asked/answered that would give me more information. How do you know what information I am looking for? Web based pictures are NOT the same as prints. I will be using the film for making PRINTS, automated prints, I will not be scanning the film. That is why I am asking people follow-up questions, and the fact is, it's simply not your place to tell me when I have enough information, or to tell people to "not waste your time". I happen to be getting some GREAT responses with excellent information, and for some reason you have some agenda to try to derail that. I simply don't understand it. > So, who is arrogant? Clearly you. By telling someone "not to waste your time", and claiming "the subjective is beyond him". It's up to ME to determine when I have the information I want, NOT YOU. > I have never been accused of that by anyone but you. Perhaps I'm the only one who has bothered to say it. > Whew!

That information was great, but now you demeaning statements are entirely inappropriate. > I have shot more than a thousand rolls of 800 > film, and had > prints pulled. I answered you question the first morning you asked it. There are a lot of other people who have opinions as well, equally as valuable as yours. You did NOT state what film you were using, you simply said "Fuji 800". You said you scan, I am not scanning the film. Your answer was not enough for me to simply just say I've got enough information. > Bullshit? Who is demeaning who? I simply was calling you on your inappropriately demeaning statements. > Just buy the damn film, it only costs a few bucks. Shoot it. If > you like it, > then use it. Because that's not what I want to do, and that's up to me to decide how I go about doing things. I have to order what ever film(s) I choose from B&H, the nearest place that MAY have it is one hour in each direction away. I have better things to do with my time, and I appreciate the (useful) responses I've received, and will make my decision based on that, and I am sure it will get me in the ballpark. What on earth did you think my reaction would be to your telling people: "Austin just wants some data that will prove it is better" "The subjective opinion is beyond him." "Don't waste your time." Well? Did you think I would appreciate those comments? You really should think about what you said, and how inappropriate it was. I'm not going to discuss this any more with you, nor do I have any interest in pursuing this in private. Austin - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
